Pros: I love how this course plays. There is a little bit of everything for a beginner like myself. There are holes where I can air out a few shots and holes where I get to practice the art of throwing from behind a tree or under a tree, etc. You can really practice techniques here.

I have been to this course multiple times now and it is one of my favorites. Most of the course is compact so it plays quick. There isn't a lot of waiting when it gets busy

The church has been doing some maintenance and cleared a lot of the shrubbery and even cut a few trees. There are wood chips surrounding the baskets which is also nice.

The chance of losing a disc is minimal.

Although there are no tee markers the baskets are marked which really helped. The tee boxes are concrete and face the baskets so there is no concern what direction you go in if you can't spot the basket right away. Just stand on the pad and look down range. You will find the basket.

#1 and #9 are next to each other and right next to the parking lot.

The course is condensed into a small area but the holes don't conflict with each other.

Cons: No map. I know I mentioned that it wasn't needed but it would be nice if there was something marking the first hole at the very least. I unknowingly walked in front of a few people trying to find it.

The only other con for me is that this course is too far from my house.

Other Thoughts: I want to thank the church for allowing people to play here. I just wish that people had a greater sense of respect when at this course. The church allows people to freely play here yet it is common to hear people curse loudly enough for everyone to hear. There is also no need to park in the middle of the parking lot and sit on the hood of your car and drink beer with your friends. Be discreet. You're at a church.

Pros: Well maintained
Good variety of holes
Good tee pads
Port o pottys
Lots of parking
Very low chance of losing a disc

Cons: A lot of the holes are short (not a con to some)
Can be windy

Other Thoughts: Don't have a lot negative to say about this course. Very well kept, with great variety between the holes, with some open, some really tight through the trees, some a bit uphill, some down, and a few nice ace runs! All in all, a very fun little 9 hole course! Great for beginners too, because the overall length and the openness of the course lessen the chance of losing a disc a great deal.

Pros:
Teepads
Some fun holes, and some variety in length
Ample parking
Port-a-potties
Well designed for the small space
Nice of the Church to install and keep open to the public

Cons:
Most holes are really short
Compressed space

Other Thoughts:
If I lived in the neighborhood I'd throw here sometimes. It's fairly well designed considering how small of an area it is, and the designer squeezed a lot out of the small area. There are plenty of ace runs, and a couple chances to air it out a little. It's really nice of the Church to keep it open to the public.

2.0 means "reasonable" and this course is very reasonable, especially given the small area it is allotted on the grounds. Fun, basic, reasonable. I know it has a lot of fans, but it's a 2.0 to me. Your mileage may vary.

Pros: This well maintained nine hole course in Vancouver, WA is a lot of fun for a quick round. A great place to practice technique with a couple of wide open holes and a few winding through some Douglas firs.

The moderate elevation changes, along with the trees, add a little spice to another wise straight forward course. Working through those trees you can work on learning your lines with alternative shots (e.g. thumbers, tomahawks, and sidearms). You could experiment each round utilizing different throws for more challenge.

The freedom to experiment, with almost no fear of losing a disc, adds a lot to this little gem of a course.

Pros: Easy parking, nicely kept fairways, a couple of smaller, challenging holes make this a great course for beginners, like me, or to help improve form and technique. Baskets and teepads are well maintained.

Cons: Parking lot a little too close for the 9th hole. I wouldn't park right next to the fairway unless you like dents in your car. Beer bottles and other trash on the course with some fellow DG'ers using profane language. This IS a church folks. Show some respect! The OB on hole #4 could be an issue. It is to the right of the hole and is separated by a barbed wire fence that looks like has been broken down in one place by folks going over to look for their errant discs. The holes are not marked well, including #1 and it took us a while (and my kids running all over looking at the baskets) to figure out what hole is what. It would be nice to have some small signs made up to point you in the correct direction for the next hole. Other than that, we played 45 holes here over the course of this weekend. Great for kids and beginners.

Other Thoughts: The course is closed during church functions, which is cool since it IS their course. Some people have said there were scorecards and maps, but we didn't see any when we were there. On hole one there were a couple of flyer boxes, but they had ads for church functions and no maps or scorecards.

Pros:
Glenwood Community Church DGC is a beautiful nine hole course located in Vancouver, WA, and is the second course in Clark County (WSU-Vancouver being the first). This course has nicely mowed fairways and a good mix of short and long holes. Elevation comes in to play on the majority of the holes, although nothing is too major. Course maintenance is excellent, with trees and bushes trimmed back, grass well manicured, and no underbrush. There is a Port o' Potty located near hole one, a few garbage cans for litter, and two metal wire baskets near the tee which hold spare discs for church goers and new comers alike. There is ample parking, and only 100 feet from the start.

The course design has the first five holes playing through the woods, with the remaining four more wide open. The majority of holes range between 240-447 feet, with the exception of hole #5 which is only 174 feet (all are Par 3). Every tee pad is the appropriate size, cement, and in good shape, much like the DISCatcher baskets. Navigation around the course is quite easy for first timers, although look for tee pad #2 to the left of pin #1 as tee #4 is to the right. This course is rarely crowded, which makes this place perfect for practice. However, if competition is what you seek, then you are better off heading 5 miles south toward Leverich Park.

Cons:
As some of the other reviewers have stated, the course lacks tee signs after hole #1 (although there are #'s on each pin), and some of the holes feel somewhat redundant. Also, holes # 8 and 9 seem fairly basic compared to the rest of the course, and lack much imagination. However, as a whole, I truly enjoyed my time here and found this to be one of the better nine hole courses I have played yet! Last, the OB to the right of hole #4 can be somewhat an issue, as the grass is quite thick and there is a barbwire fence separating the churches property from their neighbor next door.

Other Thoughts:
The designers of Glenwood Community Church DGC really did a fantastic job utilizing the land and elevation they had present. Even though this course was intended for novice players, it can be challenging for advanced players as well. The locals seem quite friendly, and have done a terrific job maintaining the course. Vancouver has a lot to offer in terms of disc golf, and is close to Portland too!

Pros: Glenwood Community Church is a great little nine hole practice course on the side grounds of the Church, right next the giant parking lot. We were there during Sunday service and were able to play the course which is really cool. There are a lot of neat little technical holes in the trees and one or two longer holes. They did a really nice job with the layout, flow and navigation, there is even good baskets and concrete tee pads.

Cons: Sundays the parking lot gets jammed full of cars and it might be really hard to find a space anywhere near the course. There isn't a ton of challenge but the course is still fun to play, I would come here long before the WSU course a couple miles away.

Other Thoughts: There were these hanging basket things on a post near hole one that I thought was for plants but I was told it was for people who want to borrow discs to play, most likely Church members, this is a great idea. The baskets were empty, hopefully someone will donate some more discs there; I would have if I had known what it was for when I was there.
